There are a few ways to connect a PS4 controller to a device. Here are three common methods:

Wireless: Press and hold the PlayStation button and the Share button on the controller until the light bar starts flashing. This puts the controller into pairing mode. On the device you want to connect to, go to the Bluetooth settings and look for available devices. Select the controller from the list and follow the on-screen instructions to pair it.

USB cable: Connect one end of a USB cable to the controller and the other end to the device. The controller should automatically connect and be ready to use.

Using a DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adaptor: You can connect your PS4 controller to your PC/Mac or other devices with a DUALSHOCK 4 USB wireless adaptor. You just need to plug in the USB wireless adaptor to your device and press the PS button on the controller to establish a connection.

Please note that Connecting method may vary based on the device you are using.

After a few moments, you should see the controller listed in the available Bluetooth devices on your device's screen. Select it to begin the pairing process.

If prompted, enter a pairing code. Usually, the code is "0000" or "1234," but it can vary depending on your device. In some cases, you might not need to enter a code at all.

Once the pairing is successful, the light bar on the controller will stop flashing and remain a steady color, indicating a successful connection.

If you're connecting the controller to a PS4 console, you should be able to start using it immediately. If you're connecting it to another device, such as a PC or mobile phone, you may need to adjust some additional settings to ensure the controller works correctly in games or applications.

If you encounter any issues during the pairing process or the controller is not connecting, make sure your device's software is up to date and try restarting both your device and the controller.

You can connect your PlayStation 4 controller in 2 ways:

  • Via USB
  • Via Bluetooth

The easiest way to connect the PS4 controller to your PlayStation is with a USB cable.

  • Turn on the PS4 with the button on the PlayStation itself.
  • Connect the USB cable to one of the USB ports on the PS4.
  • Connect the micro USB side of the cable to the port at the top of your PS4 controller.
  • Press the round PlayStation button in the middle of your controller until the lightbar of the controller lights up in blue. Sometimes, you have to press the PlayStation button multiple times.
  • Doesn't this work? Try a different USB-A to micro USB cable first.
  • Choose the profile you want from the ones on your screen.

Do you want to connect a second, third, or fourth controller to your PlayStation 4, but don't you have a micro USB cable? Connect the controller to your PlayStation via Bluetooth.

  • Turn on the PS4 with the button on the PlayStation 4.
  • Press the PlayStation button on your controller for a few seconds. The light bar starts blinking.
  • To 'Settings' on your PlayStation.
  • Select 'Devices' and click 'Bluetooth devices'.
  • Select your new controller and follow the instructions on the screen.

Can't connect via cable? There are a few other things you can try:

  • Connect the cable to a different port on your PS4. The PS4 Pro has an extra USB port at the back.
  • Try a different USB to micro USB cable, like the one of an Android smartphone, and repeat the process.
  • Charge the controller for a while.
  • Doesn't the light bar light up in yellow or blue? It's possible the controller or cable is broken. Retry the process with a different controller or cable.

Of course! I can help you with that. Connecting a PS4 controller to your console is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Make sure your PS4 console is turned on and the controller is charged.

2. Locate the micro USB cable that came with your PS4 controller. If you don't have the cable, you can use any micro USB cable that is compatible with the controller.

3. Connect one end of the micro USB cable to the port on the back of your PS4 controller.

4. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the USB ports on your PS4 console.

5. Press and hold the PlayStation button (the circular button with the PlayStation logo in the center) on your controller. This will turn on the controller and start the pairing process.

6. Once the controller is connected, it should be automatically recognized by your PS4 console. The light bar on the back of the controller will turn blue to indicate that it's successfully connected.

If the controller doesn't connect automatically, you can manually pair it by going to the PS4's Settings menu and selecting "Devices," then "Bluetooth Devices." From there, select "Wireless Controller" and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the controller.

That's it! Your PS4 controller should now be connected to your console, and you can use it to play games or navigate the system menus. If you encounter any issues during the process, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to assist you.
